"Congo Free State concession companies, Lomani Company shown in light blue The Lomani Company was a concession company of the Congo Free State. In the colonial era, the Lomami Company forced the people of the Lomami River region from Opala and Lokilo down to Ilambi to collect large amounts of rubber. The Mbole people of the region vividly described their view of the effect of this work with the phrase wando wo limolo, meaning "tax-caused loss of weight".

"Congo Free State concession companies, Lulonga Company shown in yellow The Lulonga Company was a concession company of the Congo Free State.. It was, with the Société Anversoise and the Abir Congo Company, one of the main producers of rubber in the Free State.. The company's rubber production declined in the early 20th century as a result of over harvesting of the natural rubber vine (Landolphia owariensis gentili) and the entire concession produced just seven tons of rubber in 1905.. Like Abir and the Société Anversoise, the Lulonga Company handed back control of the concession to the Congo Free State in 1906.
